that's good to hear mr. onzedge

I took my car in this morning to get an annoying rear bumper squeak taken care of. I thought it was the styrofoam underneath but they said the rear bumper was rubbing against part of the tail light housing or something. Anyhow, no more squeak and they washed my car also.

A gentleman was dropping off his gtr while I was leaving also.

No more squeaks but lots of swirls I bet!

That could be scary! Around here I wouldn't let a dealership wash my car. The one time they washed my car without asking. When I picked it up and saw it I the lot it looked worse then when I dropped it off and it had swirls all over it. Im not even sure the guy range out the sponge/towel looked like he wiped it down with dirt! I was pissed to say the least! Now on my file it says "DO NOT WASH MIKES CAR!" saw it my self lol. But this year I have no more freeby oil changes do I will probably just be doing them myself......

Good to hear! I am happy to see you are getting your Z back really quickly!

Nice!

One day I hope to do the same (not anytime soon lol)

Completed my exhaust install and made a test run. Music to my ears.

Check out my journal for pics & vids, link at bottom of my signature.

Since I was all up in her plumbing this week, I decided to make her feel like a real lady.

Today I ordered an '09 6MT rear differential to combine with a Quaife LSD to install in my 7AT. I am hoping that it will not affect my cruise control. That should make it a bit more responsive and more fun to drive too.

For those interested in the fog light mod. Get a 7443 bulb/socket from online or auto parts store. The socket will have three wires. Use a dremel to shave off the sides of the socket and little tabs so that itll fit inside the foglight (reuse the O-ring from the orginal 7440 socket).

Wire about 4ft to extend each wire.
Take a zip tie to secure the moded socket to the foglight.
Install fog light using Simota's DIY
I tapped into the left rear light same as DIY
Cut into the rear light harness and soldered the wire leads as follows-

Socket Rear light
Black > Black (Ground)
Red > Red (Rear light ON)
Blue > Green (Brake light ON)

Took about a couple hrs to do.

Enjoy!!

Only drove to work today and home. But tomorrow will be changing my oil and putting on my magnetic drain plug. Then driving a few miles out to a road with some nice curves

Hey Mr. Kenchan -- so I looked at the bad part at the dealer and there is no number on it that looks like a part number.

mr. onzedge- thank you for checking...that is odd... there should have been a label on the bottom that looks like this:

There was, but the part number was not obvious to me. I will get a picture of it tomorrow as I have to go back there. Forgive my senior moment.
